If anyone is interested, I know where to get a set of original tires from
'66 (I think) still in the paper wrapping. Good for that "perfect to the

A new 5.60-14 diagonal ply tire is 645 mm diameter.
The 80% +-2% or 80-profile is only used for radial tires
if no profile is given in the dimension code.
